In January, Washington was riding a 21-game winning streak, which included a playoff win over Texas.

THEN, UW lost 34-13 in the Natty tilt.  They lost their brilliant head coach Kalen DeBoer to the Crimson Tide and virtually their entire 2023 team as only 6 starters returned.

Their 3-2 start is deceptive.  The Huskies probably should be 5-0.  A horrid play call at the Washington State 1 yard line (a QB run to the short side of the field by a non-runningQB) was pivotal.  On Friday, an inexplicable penalty and 3 missed field goals spelled doom in their 21-18 loss to Rutgers.

Their remaining schedule is a horror show:

Michigan

@ Iowa

@ Indiana

USC

@ Penn State

UCLA

@ Oregon

 

OUCH!  The Huskies now rate to be dogs in all but the UCLA game.  For those bettors who grabbed the Under 7.5 win total, congrats.  A 4-8 or 5-7 season looms.
